Located just thirteen miles south of downtown San Francisco, it is renowned for its world-class amenities, including local culinary delights, museum-quality art exhibitions, and a dedicated yoga room for passenger relaxation. Travelers can easily access the airport via the BART rapid transit system, making it one of the most accessible and eco-friendly major airports in the United States.

Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is a centrally located facility that serves as a primary hub for Delta Air Lines and the home base for Sun Country Airlines.
